Mellow Pink vs Nickel
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Mellow Pink belongs to the beige-pink family and Nickel to the blue-grey family. Mellow Pink (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Nickel (LRV 39), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mellow Pink runs red while Nickel is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
